The Fox Den cordially invites you to a Taoist Erotic Massage workshop on Saturday 28 January 2023 in East London.
The workshop will be led by Bibi Gratzer, a relationship mentor and sex healer, who has a gifted touch and works with couples and singles on evolving in the areas of sexuality and relationships through bringing more presence and confidence to the art of relating. Bibi has been interested in conscious relating and sacred sexuality for the last eight years and trained in various areas, including shamanism, authentic relating, and neo-tantra.
Her unique style stems from the combination of a Priestess training at Nikkila Temple, Finland, as well as having learned from Tantrikas, and Dhakinis in Bali and London. In the ancient past, a Priestess was a woman who served both men and women in a Temple and taught how to treat and prepare the body as a sacred temple for worship, and how to worship the Goddess or the God while having sex. That means, instead of seeing ourselves or our sex-partner as human, we see the divine qualities in us. In Tantra and Taoism, we believe that everything is sacred. These divine qualities demand our presence, devotion, and permission to bliss and pleasure. Embracing pleasure (accepting it and enjoying it) is a form of healing and can be seen as a pathway to spiritual growth.
Taoist Erotic Massage was developed by Dr. Joseph Kramer in the 1980s and includes rhythmic breathing techniques, deep relaxation and erotic touch with long genital stimulation. The goal is to generate large amounts of sexual excitement in the genitals and let this energy circulate through the body, thereby inducing full-body-orgasm. This is a non-ejaculative practice. The intent is full embodiment and that the receiver comes to an awareness of his or her whole body. Bibi has given and taught Taoist Erotic Massage online and privately with couples at Medicine and Buddhafields festival.
The workshop is open to maximum of 30 people (non-members welcome) and hosted at the centrally located Soma studio in east London. Spaces are ONLY open to PAIRS as we will practice pussy and penis massage. However, same sex couples are welcome. No experience is necessary.
Bibi will kick off the afternoon with an Opening Circle, followed by a brief introduction into the subject, and some simple movement and connection practices. In the practical workshop, Bibi will show how to massage using her models while you get your hands on your partner. Bibi will cover the Taoist Lingam (penis) Massage twice and then the Taoist Yoni (pussy) Massage twice. There will be time at the end for integration and additional questions.
After the workshop we will head to a local pub for some early evening socialising. 🍺

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to bring or prepare?
Yoga mats, cushions and blankets will be provided. But please bring your own towel or blanket to practice on (must be big enough for a whole body). Something comfortable to move in e.g. yoga gear. A sarong or light scarf if you wish to cover up a little. If you tend to get cold feet, you might want to keep your socks on. Water bottle. It helps having your nails cut, and your hands soft and warm. Coconut oil will be provided.
Do I need to be naked or show my genitals?
During the massage, it helps if you are both naked, but it’s optional. The mats will be arranged so that the receiver's legs are facing the wall and you are welcome to cover from the waist down with a sarong or light scarf.
I can no longer attend. Can I get a refund?
Tickets are strictly non-refundable but they are transferable to another pair (not another event). Testing positive for Covid is not grounds for a refund. Please do not book a ticket if you do not want to accept these terms of sale, thank you.
